Welcome!
Before You Move In
You are officially a Resident Lobo! In this booklet you will find helpful information to make moving into your residence hall a smooth transition. Please print a copy and bring this guide with you to move in.
First things first! There are a few things you should do before you come to campus.
What to Expect When Checking In
The check-in process involves completing some final paperwork, such as emergency contact information and a room condition report. In addition, you will be issued room keys/fob for your hall. We appreciate your patience during our peak check-in times!
1. Contact your roommate. Get acquainted and decide who will be bringing what to avoid two of everything. Roommate assignments will be sent to you via email mid-July. 2. Start getting involved! You don’t have to wait until you arrive to get to know us. Join our Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram to get to know Residence Life. 3. Get your vaccinations. Visit with your doctor to find out more information on appropriate vaccinations before coming to college. Visit UNM Student Health and Counseling at http://shac.unm.edu for more information. 4. Consider purchasing property insurance. Many homeowner policies cover student property, or you may purchase additional coverage to minimize any financial impact from theft, fire, etc. 5. Get your parking pass for the academic year online. Parking passes will be available for purchase beginning at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, July 21 for returning students and Thursday, July 23, 2015 for new residents. For more information visit pats.unm.edu.
Resident Lobo Tip Make sure you sign up for your hall Facebook page before you get here. It’s a great way to meet past and future residents, keep up to date on activities in your hall and ask questions! Hashtag your move-in day via Instagram at #UNMMVN2015!

Parking during Move-In A temporary unloading parking permit will be provided to you when you arrive at the tent located at the sidewalk access or “Pedway.” (See map.) Please only use the unloading zones to drop off your belongings. Unloading zones are not for checking in, unpacking or other campus errands. Please park briefly, unload your items and then move your car to a residential parking area to complete your check-in process or to unpack your room.

Advice from current students This is your time to break out of your shell and start with a clean slate. Make new friends, get involved, and say yes (more than no) to great opportunities. Marcos T., Laguna DeVargas Resident A mattress pad is a quick and easy way to make your bed more comfortable and homey.They’re a solid long-run investment! Oh and shower shoes! Sab M., Alvarado Resident Ride a bike on campus, it can cut travel time to and from classes by half, plus it can help save on gas. Bring a U lock for said bike! Lindsay N., Coronado Resident Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. It’s okay to go to new club meetings or social events by yourself because you’ll definitely leave with a new friend. Emily M., Redondo Village Apartments Resident Leave your door open to new opportunities (literally and metaphorically). Meet your neighbors, say hi to people in the hallways, help your roommate and your neighbors move in.The more people you meet the more friends you’ll make! Tim C., Hokona Resident
